On Tuesday, August 8th, 2017 25 y/o Jorge Edwin Rivera, a US citizen, was arrested for using a drone to smuggle 13.44 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of $46,000 across the Mexican border into the United States.
Border Patrol Agents reportedly tracked a drone which had flown into the US over the Mexican border and then found Rivera about 2,000 yards on the US side of the border with the methamphetamine in a lunch box and the 2-foot drone hidden in a nearby bush.
Rivera allegedly admitted using to having used drones (reportedly like the one pictured below) to smuggle drugs five or six times since March, 2017 and to having been paid about $1,000 for the attempt that ended in his arrest.
Although there have been prior instances drones are not usually used for drug smuggling from Mexico because their noise attracts attention, their battery life is short and because they carry relatively small payloads (leaving other preferred and proven transportation methods, such as hidden vehicle compartments, boats and tunnels); but as technology addresses their shortcomings drones are sure to become more attractive to smugglers.
